The Law Hero is the title of a playable character in Shin Megami Tensei. He is a devoted youth who is searching for his missing girlfriend and later joins the Hero in combating the Demons plaguing Tokyo. True to his namesake, he represents the Law Alignment in the game.

Law Hero does not have a default name in-game. During development of Shin Megami Tensei, he was called Yoshio among the game's staff. He also has this name in the short comic within the Shin Megami Tensei Law & Chaos Disc booklet. In the short stories included in Shin Megami Tensei Character Profile: Steven Report, he was given the name Yuji.

Gameplay

Shin Megami Tensei

Like the Hero, Law Hero initially begins with 5 points in each of his six main stats, with an additional 18 stat points for the player to invest into any stat of their choosing. Law Hero's stats are customized immediately after he is named during the Hero's dream at the beginning of the game. He later joins the Hero's party upon their meeting at the Hospital.

The Law Hero learns magic skills based on his current level, Intelligence, and Magic when calculated upon leveling up. The equated numerical value determines which skill is learned. This formula is calculated as:

$[(Level\times 2)+(Intelligence\div 2)+Magic]\div 8$
